Terrorism As An International Crime: Questions Of Responsibility And Complicity, Sompong Sucharitkul

Publications

Terrorism is a phenomenon in the contemporary world which occupies the attention of the international community. Terrorism as an international crime is readily more comprehensible and susceptible of clearer definition than sheer acts of terrorism by whomsoever performed. This paper is confined to questions of responsibility and complicity in connection with terrorism as an international crime, whatever the definition is ultimately adopted of "terrorism," and whatever the meaning to be ascribed to an "international crime."

The Impact Of Arbitral Awards On The Development Of International Law: The Development Of The International Law Concerning The Taking Of Foreign-Owned Property, Rainer Gildeggen

LLM Theses and Essays

The thesis concludes that arbitral awards do have an impact on the development of international law. It focuses on arbitral awards rendered in disputes between states and on those rendered in investment disputes between states and aliens. In Chapter II theoretical considerations concerning the influence of arbitral awards on the development of the international law are made. Chapter III, which examines the impact of arbitral awards on the development of some rules of the international law concerning the taking of foreign-owned property, illustrates the role which arbitral awards rendered in investment disputes play in the development of international law.

International Concurrent Jurisdiction: Dealing With The Possibility Of Parallel Proceedings In The Courts Of More Than One Country, Bernd U. Graf

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis will examine how legal systems deal with the phenomenon of multiple assumptions of jurisdiction over the same dispute. We will first look at public international law rules on jurisdiction, regulating (or not regulating) conflicting states' interests, which will give only modest guidance. In view of those rules, the subsequent chapters will deal with various national laws relating to the possibility of parallel proceedings in the courts of more than one country, and thus the possibility of the emergence of conflicting orders or judgments.

Geographic Market Definition In An International Context, George A. Hay, John C. Hilke, Philip B. Nelson

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Market definition is generally regarded as a key step in antitrust analysis. Market definition has two components. Product market definition seeks to include all products that are meaningful substitutes. Geographic market definition seeks to incorporate all relevant sources of the product in question. This paper is concerned with geographic market definition and, in particular, how geographic markets are defined in situations where competition may, at least to some extent, transcend national boundaries.

The subject of the paper may be of some current interest for two reasons. First, the perception is widespread that, over the past twenty or so years, competition …

Nicaragua: United States Assistance To The Nicaraguan Human Rights Association And The Nicaraguan Resistance, Suzanne B. Goldberg, Lee Crawford, Kevin Reed, John Tennant

Faculty Scholarship

The question of providing aid to the Nicaraguan Resistance has been significant to United States human rights policy throughout the Reagan Administration. Although events have changed repeatedly during the winter of 1988, including a truce between the Nicaraguan Government and the Resistance and a Congressional decision not to provide military aid to the Resistance, the underlying policy issues remain constant. The Harvard Human Rights Yearbook presents two notes, infra, discussing the Military Construction Appropriations Act of 1987, which granted $100 million in aid to the Nicaraguan Resistance. The first note discusses the Nicaraguan Human Rights Association (Asociacidn Nicaraguense Pro-Derechos Humanos …

Perestroika And Priroda: Environmental Protection In The Ussr, Nicholas A. Robinson

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This article reviews the initial Soviet decisions through 1988, applying perestroika to the problem of protecting priroda. Surveyed here is the scope of the ecological problems in the USSR and traditional responses, followed by an examination of the current Soviet policy to restructure its administrative and legal system for environmental protection. These initial reforms will not all result in a direct or immediate improvement of the Soviet environmental protection regime. For instance, the reforms also are stimulating the Soviet "not in my backyard" (NIMBY) phenomenon, or local opposition to the siting of developments ranging from electrical power plants, to facilities …

Direct Broadcast Satellite: A Proposal For A Global/Regional System, Bryan Adamson, James Hsuing

Faculty Articles

The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibility of establishing a global/regional direct broadcast satellite (DBS) system. Albeit, in the past, there have been a number of initiatives aimed at forging a unified global DBS system, such initiatives have not been successful. The most significant barriers (political, rather than technical in nature) existing in the international negotiating arenas were spillover, equal access, privacy, national sovereignty, the free flow of information, prior consent, and cultural invasion. Although not all of these issues have been fully resolved, the time has come again for seriously considering the implementation of an international …

Investment And Export Contracts In The People’S Republic Of China: Perspectives On Evolving Patterns, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

The remarkable economic reforms begun in the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1979 have made possible transactions between Chinese and foreigners that were previously unthinkable. But the reforms have also caused, and are likely to continue to cause, dislocations and uncertainties which often impair Sino-foreign commercial relationships as they are embodied in contracts. This article discusses two different types of contracts, contracts to establish enterprises in China with foreign direct investment (investment contracts) and contracts to purchase Chinese products for export (export contracts). It further comments on why these contracts often cannot be implemented according to their terms for …
